AN OLD BAD IDEA IS STILL A BAD IDEA

TRY TO AVOID JOINING THE BUFFALO AS THEY BLINDLY RUN OFF THE CLIFFS AND DROP TO THEIR DESTRUCTION.

PLEASE APPLY THE CHRIS ROCK RULE AND SAVE YOURSELF FROM BEING AN IDIOT.
WHEN YOU HEAR A SILLY IDEA - REFRAIN FROM JOINING IN ON THE STUPIDITY,
INSTEAD, FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES OF MISTER ROCK AND SAVE YOUR INTELLECTUAL INTEGRITY.

THE CHRIS ROCK RULE --

1. WHOA - SOMETHING IS WRONG

2. SLOW DOWN - LET ME SEE WHERE THE PROBLEM IS

3. BACK UP - LET ME GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION, SINCE THIS
ORIGINAL IDEA IS OBVIOUSLY SILLY

***********
IF YOU NEED SOMETHING AND I HAVE THAT SOMETHING - I AM IN CONTROL -
THERE IS NO WAY AROUND THAT FACT - BUT, IF YOU WISH TO BE SILLY, YOU ARE FREE TO DO SO - IF YOU THINK THE "PLAN" BELOW MAKES ANY SENSE, ALL I CAN SAY IS --

I AM GLAD YOU:
DON'T HAVE A SCALPEL IN YOUR HAND WHEN I AM ON THE TABLE.

ARE NOT IN THE PILOT'S SEAT WHEN I BOARD THE PLANE.

ARE NOT HANDLING MY 401K

DIDN'T TUNE UP MY CAR BEFORE MY TRIP ACROSS THE DESERT
******************************
TWO QUOTES BEFORE YOU READ THE PLAN --->>

1. "ANY FOOL CAN MAKE A RULE AND EVERY FOOL WILL MIND IT."

2. "BEFORE I DO SOMETHING, I ASK MYSELF, WOULD AN IDIOT DO THIS ?
IF THE ANSWER IS YES, I DON'T DO IT."
*****************************************************
SOMEHOW, I HAVE FAILED IN THE LINES ABOVE TO EXPLAIN CLEARLY THAT THE IDEAS DIRECTLY
BELOW ARE IDIOTIC - SO, I WILL MENTION THAT ONE LAST TIME -- THESE IDEAS ARE NOT
BRIGHT -- I HOPE YOU WILL KEEP THAT IN MIND, AS YOU READ THE MESSAGE BELOW.

THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30 PER GALLON.

This was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. If you are tired of the gas prices going up AND they will continue to rise this summer, take time to read this please.

Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea.
This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy gas on a certain day" campaign that was going around last April or May!
It's worth your consideration. Join the resistance!!!!

I hear we are going to hit close to $ 4.00 a gallon by next summer and it might go higher!! Want gasoline prices to come down?

We need to take some intelligent, united action. The oil companies just laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves by refusing to buy gas.

It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them.
BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can Really work. Please read on and join with us!

By now you're probably thinking gasoline priced at about $2.00 is super cheap. Me too! It is currently $2.98 for regular unleaded in my town.

Now that the oil companies and the OPEC nations have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of gas is CHEAP at $1.50 - $1.75, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace...not sellers.

With the price of gasoline going up more each day, we consumers need to take action.

The only way we are going to see the price of gas come down is if we hit someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their gas! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.

How? Since we all rely on our cars, we can't just stop buying gas.

But we CAN have an impact on gas prices if we all act together to force a price war.

Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL.

If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, don't wimp out on me at this point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!

I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) .. and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers.
If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted!

If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all!

(If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do is send this to 10 people.... Well, let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician. But I am . so trust me on this one.

How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!!

I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you!
Acting together we can make a difference.

If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we not buy from EXXON/MOBIL UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $2.00 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.

LET ME MENTION ANOTHER DUMB IDEA --

THERE ARE AMERICAN AND FOREIGN GASOLINE COMPANIES --

HEY, THERE ARE ONLY GASOLINE COMPANIES, THEY ARE UNITED IN THE IDEA OF
MAKING MONEY - THEY HAVE NO NATIONALITY AND IT IS CHILDISH TO THINK OF THEM IN TERMS OF AMERICAN AND FOREIGN.
